Crooked Kings Lyrics by We The Heathens

The Blood Behind the Dam

2016

[Verse 1]
Tearing down the forest of concrete and steel
Bring you back to the world of turmoil instilled
By the greed and the fucking politicians that you hate
With shit in their mouths and masks on their face
Blind, we're folding way to early in this game
While their bluffs are much more obvious
Then where they point the blame
It's sick, yet we stay content in the dark
While they feed it to our minds
And control our very heart's soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Eating up the lies
Ingesting every brainwashing disguise
They're getting away with it
We've already quit and it's right beneath our eyes
I can't believe what you'll believe if it's on your TV screen
Leashed up, broke dog, obedient and Silent
It's time to get violent, it's time to break the silence
[Chorus]
Corruption falls like acid rain
Their thought control and propaganda
Tighten the leash around the vein
Take the knife out of your back
And slit the throat of crooked kings
Their reign is going to end
Some day they'll fall like flies (Going to end)
Some day they'll fall like flies
[Verse 2]
So you gotta quibble with the thought of a new world order
Totalitarian vomit on your shoulders
The quill and ink are black as blood
The white-collar kings controlling every single drop
Surveying every move and veiling all the news
Parading every fascist ruse
Lifeless they live in infamy
We all know the real enemy
[Chorus]
Corruption falls like acid rain
Their thought control and propaganda
Tighten the leash around the vein
Take the knife out of your back
And slit the throat of crooked kings
Their reign is going to end
Some day they'll fall like flies (Going to end)
Some day they'll fall like flies
